Review by Library Journal Review

Mini skeins-small skeins of yarn measuring 50-100 yards-are trendy these days. But what do you do with mini skeins beyond stranded colorwork? This collection of patterns features a variety of designs suitable for mini skeins (or leftover yarn from other projects), and includes a number of stranded colorwork arrangements, as well as assortments featuring stripes, chevrons, gradients, color blocking, and pops of color in solid designs. The majority of the patterns are for small accessories, such as hats, gloves, and fingerless mitts, but there are also a couple of sweater offerings showcasing colorful mini skeins combined with a larger quantity of a neutral-colored yarn. Full written directions are provided for each pattern; charts and schematics are supplied as needed. -VERDICT Knitters who relish combining a variety of colors in their projects will appreciate this compilation of "small amount required" patterns. © Copyright 2015.
